A LIFE WORTH LIVING…

This is what we all hope to have, but in the real world, life is uncertain and challenges face us everyday.  The pursuit of higher goals can easily give way to just getting by.  In the midst of it all, we don’t need pat answers and tired clichés.  What we could use is some genuine encouragement and practical wisdom from people that really care—people who are sincerely looking for the best that life has to offer. Pathways is made up of people just like you.  We are a group of friends who are finding out about God’s practical solutions for today’s challenges.  We are learning together that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the key to having a healthy and purposeful life. 

The Keys To Life.

What the Bible says about Life with Jesus…

• Romans 3:23

• …for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

• Romans 6:23

• For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

• Romans 5:8

• …but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

• Romans 10:9-10

• …because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

• John 1:12

• But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.

 

Four Basic Spiritual Laws…

• God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life

• John 3:16 and Romans 10:10

• We are all sinful and therefore separated from God

• Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23

• Through Jesus Christ our sins can be forgiven and a right relationship can be restored

• Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 5:3-4 and John 14:6

• We must place our faith in Jesus as savior and lord to receive salvation

• John 1:12 and Acts 16:31

 

Making a Commitment to Christ…

• Confess — You are separated -- not in a right relationship with God.
• Repent — Turn away from your sin.
• Believe — Place your trust in Jesus for a new life.
• Receive — Jesus Christ into your heart through a prayer like this…

 

 Dear Jesus, I know that I am not in a right relationship with You.  I understand that you came to die for me; I’m asking you to forgive me of my sins and to come into my heart and give me a new life.  I believe in my heart and I am asking you now to be my forgiver and my leader.  Thank you for saving me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
